One of the most exciting places in all of New York City, the Bronx Zoo Congo Gorilla Forest is 6.5 acres of African rain forest and fun. With more than 300 animals, it is the most spectacular exhibit ever created at the Bronx Zoo by the Wildlife Conservation Society. The remarkable collection of animals includes two troops of lowland gorillas, led by silverbacks Timmy and Dan.

With over 1,600 feet of walkway through the exhibit, you can wind and weave your way through an authentic rain forest full of over 15,000 plants of nearly 400 species, many of which have never before been grown in the New York area.

Congo Gorilla Forsest Animals
As you and your family explore this precious ecosystem, keep your eyes peeled for the group of black and white colobus monkeys, the elusive okapi (the “rain forest giraffe”), a rambunctious family of Red River warthogs and many other animals and species that slither, hop and crawl along the forest floor.

And most of all, you will learn about the threats to the African rain forests and what you can do to save these precious ecosystems.

Animals You Can See:

The Colobus Monkey
Grey-Cheeked Hornbill
Red River Hog
Wolf’s Monkey
White Spot Assassin Bug
African Rock Python
Mandrill
Okapi
Ornate Nile Monitor
African Pygmy Goose Debrazza’s Monkey

At the Congo Rain Forest exhibit, you get to choose if your donation helps Elephant, Mandrill, Gorilla or Okapi Conservation efforts.

Ticket prices vary for this exhibit depending on weather.
